What makes the Custom Edition different from the standard LeapPad 2?
2268
The Custom Edition comes with the same specs as theLeapPad 2so you'll still get the benefits that were introduced with it, including a faster processor, higher-resolution front and rear cameras, better memory and an improved battery life over the original, but this version also lets you customise it in more than 100 different ways. Everything runs smoothly, with the device itself turning on quickly and apps running without a problem, but the addition of the customisation stickers make the front of the tablet look bright, colourful and more exciting than before. There are 10 stickers to choose from which are all included with the device, and you can then match them with one of the 11 digital wallpapers. The stickers look easy enough to stick on so it shouldn't be a problem to change over and there are a range of different designs from pink with ladybirds, to green and blue random patterns and we were impressed with the selection. They also have a parental guide to sticking them on, whichmakes it even easier.

I have twins, too. Whenever I download an app for one LeapPad, it loads it onto the other as well. So, no, you won't have to purchase apps twice unless you buy the cartridges.

We have a LeapPad, it's pretty expensive to load it up with games/books and doesn't seem worth the high price tag. I am considering returning it for a Vtech. The camera on the LeapPad is OK, but now I realize I would rather have the option to load music and movies.

I think the batteries are supposed to work with the 1 and 2 models, but I agree with Elisab40 that a call to LeapPad would help solidify an answer for you. They are super helpful. I bought my daughter a LeapPad 1 and she cracked the screen (out of frustration after 2 weeks). LeapPad replaced it with a LeapPad 2 free of charge.

I'm not sure if this is the one or not,but if you check the leapfrog website directly they DO sell one...but I don't want to buy this one until I find out for sure its the right one. It says it does not work with leapster explorer...and since the leappad and the explorer seem to share everything else...I just don't know! Someone please help us!

We have the leap pad 2 and it works fine but I did have to return the first one because it didn't work. The second one did work and we haven't had a problem with it.

We only have the Leapster Explorer and the LeapPad 2 and it works fine on both of them. I have no idea about the GS.

I have the LeapPad2 and it works great. Just have to plug it in and it charges. I would assume it would work with both models as mine is from last Christmas. My batteries went quick too. You can call Leappad and ask them direct - they were great when I had questions and when my screen cracked after the first week they replaced the whole thing and I bought mine thru Amazon.

Both Leappad 1 and 2 are the exact same size. All accessories are interchangeable for both. I own both versions.

I know you can on the Leap Pad, but not sure about Leap Pad 2. Sorry that I couldn't be more help to you.

For only two, no you won't. Like an ipod, you can put several devices on the same account, and the apps that you buy will be able to be downloaded on all of the LeapPad 2's on your account. You can only add so many LeapPads. I think it caps at 7.

Yes, leap pad 2 uses batteries like crazy, it's much easier to just plug it in when in use

Here's a great site that list the differences in a few of the learning systems:http://hubpages.com/hub/VTech-MobiGo-vs-Leapfrog-Leapster-Explorer-vs-Fisher-Price-iXL

Yes, it is compatible. Perhaps the leappad 3 wasn't made yet when the description was written. Overall it is an awesome game, my daughter plays it a lot.

Hands down the LeapPad, it seems a lot more versatile; not very good reviews on the Inno on their own homepage. Vtechkids.com

No. We have both actually. The leap pad ultra is huge. It is a tablet. The leap pad 2 explorer is also a tablet but nowhere near as large. This is the silicone case we have for ours and it is great. LeapFrog LeapPad2 Gel Skin - Blue(Works with LeapPad2 or LeapPad1)In case it doesn't pull up, it is here on amazon. It is the leapfrog leap pad 2 gel skin. Ours is blue and it looks pretty sharp.
